A Release Time Bible Education program takes 6th-12th grade students out of school during the school day to devotionally study the Bible. These classes are held off school grounds, with parental permission and outside funding.

Released time is legal! Released time is not a violation of separation of church and state. Released Time honors that principle by adhering to the guidelines established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1952.

Research indicates that students in release time programs may show improved academic performance. One study showed that release time students outperformed their peers academically in multiple testing categories

This program will incorporate character-based education, such as honesty, forgiveness, and kindness. This helps students develop into their God given potential.

This Release Time program will resource kids to fight against anxiety, depression and phone addictions.

Release Time helps with behavioral issues, but it doesn’t stop there. This release Time program aims to cut the root of the problem. We will discuss issues like anger, self-control, and comparison.
